context. Pileus woody, dimidiate, sessile, thickest behind, 12 144 cm.; surface gla- 
brous, dark-brown, shallowly concentrically sulcate, marked with numerous darker con- 
centric lines; margin fulvous, thin, rounded, slightly undulate: context corky to woody, 
indistinctly concentrically banded, honey-yellow, 1 cm. thick; tubes distinctly stratified, 
longer behind, 0.5~1 cm. long each season, 6 to a mm., dull-brown, mouths polygonal, con- 
colorous, edges obtuse, becoming thin: spores globose, rarely ovoid, thin-walled, smooth, 
hyaline, 3.5-54; hyphae ferruginous; cystidia none.

HABITAT: Base of living logwood tree. 
DISTRIBUTION: Known only from the type locality. 
DOUBTFUL SPECIES 
Polyporus rhabarbarinus Berk. Ann. Nat. Hist. 3: 388. 1839. Type locality un- 
known. The only specimen in Hooker’s herbarium that fits the description, according to 
Cooke, resembles P. pseudosenex, but has almost hyaline, globose spores, and small cus- 
pidate cystidia. 
Polyporus badius Berk. Ann. Nat. Hist. 7: 453. 1841. Type from boreal North 
America. Very near Pyropolyporus Everhartit, Spores subglobose to ovoid, smooth, 
ferruginous, 4-5 X 6-7; hyphae ferruginous, 4-5; cystidia not found. 
Polyporus elatus Lév. Ann, Sci. Nat. III. 5: 129, 1846. Type from Guadeloupe. 
Description meager and authentic specimens not found. 
Polyporus nicarvaguensis Berk. & Curt. Proc. Am. Acad. 4: 122. 1860. Type from 
Nicaragua. Description meager and authentic specimens not found. 
Polyporus subfiexibilis Berk. & Curt. Jour. Linn. Soc. 10: 311. 1868. Described from 
Wright’s Cuban collections. 
Polyporus sclerodes Berk, & Curt. Jour. Linn. Sec. 10: 311. 1868. Type from Cuba. 
Although the description is fairly complete, it is impossible to locate the species without 
seeing the type material, which could not be found at Kew. 
Polyporus scleromyces Berk. & Curt. Jour. Linn. Soc. 10: 312. 1868. Collected by 
Wright on dead wood in Cuba. Specimens at Kew hardly accord with the description. 
Xanthochrous igniarioides Pat. Bull. Soc. Myc. Fr. 14: 54. 1898. Type from Mexico. 
Authentic specimens not seen. Said to differ from Pyropolyporus Everhartti in having 
larger spores and no cystidia. 
68. PORODAEDALEA Murrill, Bull. Torrey Club 32: 367. 1905. 
Hymenophore large, perennial, epixylous, sessile, conchate to ungulate; surface 
anoderm, sulcate, usually rough: context brown and woody ;' tubes concolorous, rarely in 
distinct layers, the hymenium varying from porose to daedaleoid: spores smooth, hyaline 
at maturity, becoming brownish with age; cystidia conspicuous.
